Dr. Helen Claiborne

In 1948, Max Mercury was seriously injured saving Manchester, Alabama from a toxic bomber. He was found by a local doctor,
and taken to his remote home to convalesce. Dr. Claiborne was away much of the time, and Max developed a close relationship
with his wife Laura—which culminated in a brief affair. When David discovered them together, Max ran,
brushing up against the speed force again and time-jumping. Laura gave birth to Max’s daughter, Helen, and the Claiborne’s
marriage broke up.

Years later, Helen, now a physician, met her new neighbor, Max Crandall. She sensed some kind of
connection, and they became friends. She had contemplated pursuing it further, not realizing that
the man who was close to her own age was actually her father. When her ex-husband attacked her,
Max fought him off and let the secret slip. Their friendship was strained for a while, but they
have since moved in together, trying to catch up on the missing years of their father-daughter relationship.
